ROUTE SETTING METHOD, AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING METHOD, ROUTE SETTING DEVICE, AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

This route setting device is provided with a status confirmation part and a change route setting part. The status confirmation part receives, with respect to a work vehicle that is moving along a preset work route in a field, an instruction by which the work vehicle moves to a stop position not included in the work route, and acquires the position of the work vehicle. The change route setting part creates a change route along which the work vehicle moves to the stop position on the basis of the instruction. The starting point of the change route represents the position of the work vehicle at a time when a waiting time for change equaling or exceeding a delay time set on the basis of the processing time for creating the change route has elapsed after receiving the instruction.
